Compromise Proposals- Brooks Accepts and Baxter Be jects. Washington, May 9. - Both Arkansas factions have mu tually agreed to compromise the difficulty, and request the attorney general "to act as umpire, as he did in the case of Alabama. Attorney General Williams having consented, the friends of both governors as sembled at the department of justice at two o'clock p. m., and continued in consultation until 6:30, when, without affecting a compromise, they adjourned to await a reply to telegrams sent to Gov. Baxter by Judce Wiltshire. During the conference the attor ney general sent a note to the presi dent, informing him that represen tatives of botlt parties were at his office trying to effect a compromise and with prospects of success. The president replied, expressing his earnest desire that a compromise should be effected, and leaving it to the discretion of the attorney gen eral to approve it in behalf of the government. About ten o'clock p. m. the parlies to the conference re-assembled at the residence of Attorney General Williams. The following basis of compro mise has been agreed upon by Bax ter and Brooks. If accepted by the President it will be decided who shall be the temporary Governor. If rejected, the President will de cide the case himself. It is agreed that May 9th, 1874, at Washington, D. C, between the respective agents and attorneys of Joseph Brooks and Elijah Baxter, claimants for the of fice of Governor of Arkansas, that on account of the conflicting claims of the parties and the division of sentiments among the people of said State, that the legislature of the State shall be called by said Brooks and Baxter, to meet in extra session on the fourth Monday of May, 1874, at 12 o'clock, noon, at the usual time of meeting-at the State House; each to put a separate call forth with for that purpose, and the leg islature so called shall be permitted to meet without molestation or hin drance by either of said parties or their adherents, that they shall re ceive and entertain the communi cation of Mr. Brooks setting forth special grounds for his claim to the office of Governor, as well as his reason for contesting Baxter's right thereto; that they shall investigate the facts and allegations so sci forth by Books, and such investigation shall bo conducted in the munqer prescribed by the Constitution and laws of the StatCj giving both par ties a full and fair hearing upon such competent testimony as either party may deem propor to oirer; that the legislature shall determine in the manner provided by law, which of the contestants received at the November election, of 1872, a majority of the legal votes, and de clare tfte resut, urn t)io parties ahull abide by that a'dtlorr. Brooks and Baxter bl eah relieve from duty, and send home all their trooi, retaining only as many as each may think necessary aS a body guard, at LItte Rocknot exceeding one Company. All warlike demon strations are" to forthwith cease, and both parties are to keep absolute peace, and refiain from any inter ference with each other, or their adherents, until the contest is finally decided by the legislature, or the National Government has taken action t)iereon j that until the de terminatToij ' by ' the"" General Asembiy, as' to' who was legally elected Governor, the contest to bo made before that body by Joseph Brooks, the question as to which of the contest ants has the legal right to exercise the functions of the office of Gov ernor, wilj. at his discrctj'on he de termined by tho President on the application heretofore made to him by the respective contestants; that Jhe Legislature shall receive from each claimant to office "such com munication as either may send to it until tle contest for office is finally deeided by the General Assembly. I submit a foreign plan Jot the adjustment ot the difficulties in Arkansas to the respective claimants to the office of Governor. It paying bepn agreed hi by jjll their' friends and attornoys, here to approval. ' I have to say that the President earnestly desires its adoption by both parties. Signed CjEQ. H. "Vyil-LIAMS", Attorney General. Washington, May 10. The following replies to the plan of compromise proposed last night by Attorney General Williams to rival governors of Arkansas have been received here to-iijght, and will to-morrow morning be sub mitted to the President for his action thereon. Notwithstanding that Governor Baxter declines to accept the plan proposed, Attorney Gen eral Williams feejs almost sure that he will bo able to effect a peaceful settlement to-morrow. Littlk Rook, May 9. To Hon. O. JL Williams, Attorney General : Sir : Yours of this date submit ting a proposition for a settlem.ent of the trouble in Arkansas has been received and fully considered. Asim- ilar one In all respects, except is far as relates to a joint call of the. legis lature, -was submitted by me some two weeks ago and rejected bv Brooks. 1 cannot consent to any thing that will in whole or in part recognize Brooks fts Governor, Either I am Governor or I am not Governor. The Legislature has been called together for tho 11th of this month. The members are rapidly assem bling, with nearly a quorum pres ent now, who believe that they will receive the protection of the Gen eral Government In their meeting and deliberations, I could not law fully disperse them, if I would, nor have I any means of compelling the Legislature, that might be con vened under a joint call, to conform to the terms proposed. The Legis lature might as well act under my call, because it might not return two weeks nence, and meantime we are In confusion, with no recog nized Governor and the State in a war. To dispose of all this, I have ealied tho Legislature for the 11th Inst., under conviction that It would be protected by the General Gov ernment. I now renew my appeal to the President to protect the Legislature now called. If the Leg islature meets now, the question may be submitted to it fairly, and I will abide by its decision fully. I am, therefore, constrained to de cline the terms proposed. sfneaj ;i,ij ah Baxter, vuvwnor or Arkansas. 1 May 10, 1S74 To Attorney General Tniliamasz- Your dispatch, submitting the proposition to submit the question of who was duly elected Governor, and to refrain from all warlikelde monstrations until the contescis finally decided by the legislature or National Government, as proposed in your aispatch, is accepted. Aiy claims to the governorship of Ar kansas, have already been adjudged in the Circuit Court, and the-right to exercise the office' de clared by the Superior Court in proceeding where the main question at issue was who is Gov ernor of Arkansas. Notwithstand-i ing this I- feel so confident of my election and justness of my claim that I am willing to submit tho question to anv of the other tribun als you have named, and peacefully uuiuu uy ineir termination, at ait times assertinir that the only tri bunal that can or has a right to eoibV; strue the constitution Is the su preme Court of the State, whichm its last decision in the case of Brooks against Page determined that the Circuit Court hail both power and jurisdiction to adjudiea'tOi HIV riirllt tl tlm nftinn Signed Joseph Brooks, ff uovornor oi ArKausas. Washington, D. C, May 10 Tho situation of the transporta tion question in Congress,is sub stantially as follows: Appropria tions will be recommended for mak ing through surveys of the great water lines embraced in the report of the senate committee omtrans portation. These surveys are de sired for the purpose of ascertaining the exact cost of the projected works, with a viow of urging their construction at tho uextrsession of Congress. One great' obstacle to ovorcome is to decide i pon how tho routes shall bo built, whether by Government or by private capital. The latter will probably be adopted, with such restrictions as may be deemed necessary to subserve the rights of the public. .Another ques tion is, how shall the Government aid be extended to these routes ? It is believed that the plan of -endorsing the bonds of the private companies who undertake to build the proposed routes Wnl be accepted as the least objectionable; that these routes should bo left in private hands, and it is generally conceded said a congressman who has made a study of this question, that the Government should build one of these canals the result would be that nrivato co-onorations would make a common cae against if, and the Governtnerittvbiilu-be placed in the pbsjum'Qf fostering a monopoly to destroy private enterprise. The friends of the various canal routes express themselves as sanguine of success at tht next session of Con gress. Charles E. Wingate, of Maine, has been appointed as cadet at large to the military academy at West Point. Washington, May 10, Tho Natlonar-Republican this morning, editorially says, there has been a running fire for a long time all along the line of the Pacific rail ipad, discharged from blinded ad versaries, against the railroad Inter est. The great bugbear has been that the Central and Union Pacific railroads have refused to pay inter est on tho bonds issued by the United States for the benefit of the roads, and that they should be com pelled to pay the same on the plea that millions of dollars may be wrongfully withheld from the gov ernment on this account, and much animosity lias' been aroused, It now turns out, however, that there Is not the least authority In tfie law for exacting the collection of this interest, until tho maturity of the bonds. Meanwhile, however, in blind haste, the people have forgot ten a most important fact which has been fully developed by Mr. Hough ton in flie house committee on Pa cific railroads. The railroad com panies are required by law to pay five per cent, of the net proceeds of their business to the government annually,' to be amilpd to tjie liquid dation 'of the" deut'of the" United States. These companies have earned a net profit, thus far, of about twenty million dollars, ac cording to their reports, and it is clear that a larger sum is tlup to the government, which has never been demanded. Tho committee has agreed to re port a bill providing for the proper demand of this five per cent,, and to enforpe collection of it. We are glad to see railroad legis lation taking a reasonable and prac tical direct jon" towards a solution of tills problem. New York, Maj-10.

I request that the military of both parties be at once disbanded, which is the first step towards a peaceable settlement. Answer. U. S. Grant. A'.'asiiington, May 11. To Hon. E. Baxter, Little Rock: I recommend that tlm liejubfrs of the General' Assembly now at Little Rock adjourn fort, feasniahle time, say fur Jen day, to enable Brooks to call into the body his supporters aud adherents, ho" that there may bo a full Legi-slature. Any hasty action by a part of the Assembly will not be satisfactory to the peoplo. Brooks' friends here acjree that after this course is pursued no oppo sittlon will be made to theacmbly meeting in the State Houscns usual and that lie will at onue dismiss his force if you will do the same. I urgently rcque-t that all armed forces of botli sides bo disbanded so that tho general assembly may act free from any evil presence or influence. Tho United States will give all necessary protection, to the legislature, and to piotcct, as far as possible and practicable, all violence and disturbance of the public peace. U. S. Grant.
